Microglia in the central nervous system express scavenger receptors and are involved in the oxidized LDL uptake and metabolism [ 34 ] . These cells are, thus, the macrophage-equivalent in the central nervous system [ 35 ] . Results from this laboratory showed that cholesterol oxides can cause programmed cell death in microglia [ 7 ] , which suggests that microglia, similar to macrophages, can be a potential target for oxidized LDL toxicity.
Our finding that AGE-BSA and PA induce apoptosis through a CD36-mediated and p38- and caspase-dependent mechanism in tubular epithelial cells, similar to TSP-1 and ox-LDL in endothelial cells and macrophages, respectively, suggests that multiple, context-dependent extracellular stimuli of apoptosis may converge on CD36 scavenger receptor to activate src kinase and proapoptotic p38 MAPK pathway.
Unlike loop diuretics, mannitol functions as an intravascular volume expander, at least initially, and may also function as a free-radical scavenger.
It was a scavenger's revolution that held large promise for a time: finding potential in the most random litter, making a new world out of the debris of the old.
In conclusion, we report a new functional role for CD36 scavenger receptor in tubular epithelial apoptosis associated with tubular degeneration and progression of DNP.
